EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning illustration titled "The beautiful violet, an illustration of a Bonapartist supporter". Created by the talented artist Andre Gill in November 1872, this artwork was featured on the cover of "L'Eclipse" magazine in Paris. The image portrays a bonapartist supporter holding a bouquet of violets and reading the newspaper "L'Ordre". The use of violets as symbolism adds depth to this piece. Violets were often associated with Napoleon Bonaparte and his supporters during that time period. The delicate flowers represent loyalty, devotion, and admiration for their beloved leader. Gill's masterful caricature technique is evident in this engraving, capturing not only the physical features but also the essence of the bonapartist supporter. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line and stroke brings life to this character. This artwork provides insight into French society during the late 19th century when political affiliations played a significant role in people's lives. It serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression. Leonard de Selva skillfully photographed this print, preserving its beauty for future generations to appreciate. This particular print belongs to a private collection but remains accessible for public enjoyment. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are transported back in time to witness an era filled with passion, politics, and profound artistic talent.
